Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4670 1GB vs Radeon R9 380 4G
IntroThe Radeon HD 4670 1GB features a core clock frequency of 750 MHz and a GDDR4/GDDR3/DDR3/DDR2 memory frequency of 1100 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and uses a 55 nm design. It is comprised of 320(64x5) SPUs, 32 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R9 380 4G, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 970 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1425 MHz on this specific model. It features 1792 SPUs along with 112 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 380 4G is 418% faster than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 380 4G should be quite a bit (approximately 353%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 4670 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 380 4G is superior to the Radeon HD 4670 1GB, by far. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
